The European Parliament's Legal Affairs Rapporteur MEP Francis Zammit Dimech will be presenting a new draft EU law that will impact online businesses together with representatives from the MEIB and other stakeholders.
Through this new proposal, providers of online intermediation services (e.g. Amazon and eBay) and online search engines (e.g. Google search) will be required to implement a set of measures in the contractual relations they have with online businesses. These proposed new measures aim to ensure transparency and fairness with online retailers, hotels and restaurants businesses and app stores, among others, which use such online platforms to sell and provide their services to customers in the EU.
The proposal is still at an early stage in consideration in the European Parliament, which is why Friday's event will also provide those affected with an opportunity to make their position known in time before the vote.
So if you sell goods or services on online platforms such as Google Play, Amazon, Facebook or Booking.com or if your online business has trouble meeting the terms and conditions set up by online platforms, join the European Parliament Office and the Malta Business Bureau on Friday 5 October at the Life Sciences Park at 9 a.m.
